MATAO

KARAOKE IS KING
When new Explorers come in, I always like to give them a tour of the studio and the instruments. This time, I had a special surprise—our former youth member Christopher gave a live drum demonstration. Let’s just say the Explorers werehooked!
Saying these youth love karaoke would be the understatement of the year. And honestly, I get it—your voice is the closest thing you have to a personal instrument.
